THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER FIFTY Pat Harrison and Underwood Led in the Attack on Dyer Bill Nick Chiles Classes of Jeff Davis. SOUTHERN WOMEN ARE SAID TO PROTEST Approval Given to Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill—Telegrams Received Washington, Dec. 2. Senators Pub Harrison, of Mississippi and William J. Harris of Georgia received today the following telegram from Fannie Belle Outler of Macon, Ga. "As chairman of the 15000 members of the Student Young Women's Chri- stian Association, in ten Southern states, I wish to voice our movement's opinion as one of emphatic protest against your attitude, toward the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. In reply to Miss Outler, Senator Hale ron telegraph: "Your telegram, purporting to voice a protest in the name of the 15000 members of the Student Young Women's Christian Association in ten Southern states against my attitude on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill just received. Will greatly appreciate it if you will furnish me names of members in Mississippi if any, whose views you are authorized to express. Such a protest coming from any part of the white women of the South is surprising to those of us who are here battling in what we conceive to be the greatest crisis in the history of our section since the infamous Lodge Force Bill was killed. If this unconstitutional and unjustifiable legislative monstrosity which is aimed at the South should become a law, constitutional government would be at an end and our white civilization be threatened." Senator Harrison is answering by letter which he will make public tomorrow. His reply will be the same in effect as the Harrison telegram. Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, learing the filibuster against the Dyer bill, which has tled up the Senate and will keep it tied up until the proponents of the measure surrender, has received only one protest. That came today from a Negro living in a northern state. From the South, the voice of Miss Outler, alone, has come to Washington voicing a criticism of the obeduracy of Southern democrats in opposing a blow they believe nuded deliberately at the South by New England Negroes alienating the answers of Republ Senator Underwood said tonight that the filibuster would be continued indefinitely and that until Republican leader came to an understanding with him, all business would remain at a stalemish. He declared his response to a question that the position of democrats would even make it impossible for the vice-president to reenter the subsidy bill expected to be received from the House tomorrow to the proper committee for consideration. It is the general opinion that the Republicans will surrender in the immediate future. The above shows who are running Congress. Surely the spirit of Jeff Davis Alabama, to Washington ashirdlu unum it has not transferred to Washington from Montgomery, Alabama, formerly the rebel seat of government in the days of succession. It seems as though his Rebel Chilfain, Underwood is wearing his mantle and has invaded the Halls of Congress and the White House, Jeff Davis is now doing what he failed to do with Lee's army—reaching Washington to plant rebellion and latted The Republican party has Gordonton Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and the Emancipation Proclamation and has surrendered the rights of the black man the 15th amendment to the constitution and turned it over to the last rince of the South. Many thanks to Fannie Belle Outer and her 5000 young student Young Christian white women of ten southern states who represent an organization that stands for high morals and the elevation of high Christian characters. We know this instigator of Mr. William Graham. I Danny, Colorado, who is in the Railway Mail Service and is one of Uncle Nana's finest, is covered over with amoles because of a mine, pound boy, born in Kansas City, Kansas. This is his second child. Mr. Graham is one of the best music composers of the race. Southerners as Reincarnations White Women Protest. clean morals from Mississippi does not represent the high style of pure blooded whites of the South. South-fellows get into prominence by vulgarity, slime an arraying class against class. It was no of anything that he has done in the his- tory of life that was memorious that set him to the Senate. His fellow servant, the governor of his state, is now being tried for outraging his stenographer, which seems to be a pasttime for this would be leading southern politician and office holder. If it is a pure virtuous white, it is a poor virtuous Colored girl. They seem to prey on this class. Miss Guther, you have our sympathy as well as your thousands of good Christian young ladies who have banded together to fight the last of such Southern white beasts who think they have the right to outrage any good woman on account of their political standing. Note the cry of this Senatorial wolf who has the unmitigated gall to casterate you for standing up for the Christian teachings of the Bible. He knows if the Dyer bill becomes a law there will be a marked pull of scape goats like him who are preying upon Southern women's virtue and have been for years and laying the blame on the innocent black men. Not only that, they rob and outrage colored farmers and laborers and their families. If one resents it he mobbed for attempting to protect his rights. This class which these wolves belong to live on the stolen products and labor of the black man in the South. The South can proudly boast of thousands a high class Christian (Colored men who can be trusted in the company of good women. But ally! This cannot be said of the white men and especially of the class this monster and his fellow office holder in Mississippi belong to; who are now on trial and this same fellow who is criticising you would probably be doing time if the truth were known. We will stake our last dollar that his sympathy is with Governor Russell as against this poor girl who is soaring for what she knows and believes to be right. The old saying is: "Birds of a feather will flock together." Now speak up. Pat, and this good woman knows how you stand; you may speak one way and believe another. All such fellows as you are clamoring for the popular side. You will guess wrong some day and then will be the end of the Mississippi windstorm which held a vacant seat in the halls of congress for one day too long. We shall look up his record among the Colored people of Mississippi and see how kind and attentive he is or has been to Colored women. He may have a few Colored relatives scattered among them. We're are sorry we have no Republicans in the Senate who were not scared to tell you Southern bluffers where to hear in. Well the North and East is looking after business and letting you follows feet off the color question and whale you language in liberty, bigotry, ignorance, poverty and stifly, these other sultions are rapidly advancing. That is why so many thousands of industrious people of both races are leaving the South; and such jokes as you are allowed to represent them in Congress. The color question is all the Southern leaders talk about. Oh! for a Republican Senator like Ginkling, Pinkie, or thus Summer who thought more human rights than anything else that came before them in the Senate. Nothing but money, money, money all gone wild about it, while the South has gone well on the color question. The solution of the whole thing is when young women like Miss Fannie Belle Otter of Macon, Ga., and her three control the ballot than such follows as Pat and Underwood will go into oblivion and may God hasten the day.

Emmett Scott Denies Bribery Charge Washington, D. C.-Dr. Munnett J. Scott, in order to have the denial of the unfounded charge made on the floor of the U. N. Senate by Senator Pat Hurriam has sent the following letter to Senator Charles Curtis of Kannan, in charge of the Liberian Loan bill, for insertion in The Congressional Record. Washington, D. C. Nov. 27, 1932 Illon. Charles Curtis On the floor of the United States Senate Friday, November 24th the number Senator from Minnesota Mr. Pat Harrison, in the course of his remarks opposing the passage of the Labarian Loan bill, said: "It is pretty generally numerical, I think, that certain persons have a contract with the Government of Labor that in the event that loan is made they are to receive a fee, or commission, of $60000. It is not a secret that the five persons have contract with the town council of Liberia are members of the Colonial race. They have been very conspicuous around the corridors of the capital buttomholing Senators and using every influence in order to obtain the passage of the legislation." In the further course of the nation's statement naming the five persons he mentioned by name as one of the "five person" who are to receive a fix, or commission from the Laborian government in case of the laborian loss bill passed. No matter whom inspired, no matter through whom the information reached the Senator, I wish most emphatically to deny the truthfulness of these charges. I have no claim against the laborian government. I have no contract of any kind or character whatever with the Laborian government, or with any agent or official of the Laborian government. I am to receive no fee of any character from the Laborian government. I have "automobiled" no Senator, not have I sought to influence any Senator to secure the passage of the legislation. I do, of course favor the passage of the Laberian Loan Bill. I think most thoughtful Colored Americans favor it, hope a majority of the Senate members will Only a small coterie of Colored politicians, upon whom Senator doubtless depended upon for information in this matter, do not favor it. I shall not undertake to characterize their motives. My interest in the Laberia dates back to 1909 when I went to Laberia by appointment of President William H Taft as a member of the American Commission to Laberia. It was through the efforts of the Commission that Laberia's difficulties at that time were adjusted and its debts refunded. My interest was also shown in 1918, when I was one of a group of persons who met President Wilson at the White House for a discussion of this Laberian Credit, the meeting had been arranged by Major Robert R. Moton the Principal of Tuskegee Institute who enquired in confidence and good will of former President. In the group at the also were Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones Secretary of the Philips Stokes Fund and Dr James H. Dillard, President of the John F. Slater and Anna T. James Fonda, both white men of high character and devotion to the last interests of white and colored people alike. Also, in 1919 won President cheking of Laberia came to America and again in 1921, went came as President of the Republic of Laberia. I was personally requested by officials or to state Department to cooperate with them in working out plans for the entertainment of these guests of the United States. Laberia. For many years I have been deeply interested in the welfare of 'Laberia I have been activated, however, solely by a genuine interest in the strong' of theattle Republic on the West Coast of Africa. I have never at any time sustained to the Laberian Government, reLABerian officials, any relationship based upon contracts or understandings to the effect that I am to receive money from the Laberian Government. It is, therefore, exceedingly unfair for the junior senator from Mississippi to publicly make a statement manifestly intended to unfavorably reflect upon me personally and correctly inform us to the facts in the matter. It is also most unfair to the junior senator from Mississippi for him to have been inside the dugge of certain Negro politicians from his own state, who are when he could most easily have been attacking to fool personal grudges rather than to furnish the truth, and whose false representations have caused him self, confess he is unable to prove. No Such Thing as Racial Inferiority Says Univerity Head Illinois Proffessor Claims That Inferiority Notion as Concert on Part Whites Race Champaign, Ill., Dec. 13—(Special to the Plaindealer) At a lecture series at the University of Illinois recently Prof. R. H. Cameron, head of the Department of Psychology and Author of the text book used in the course gave his hearts a big jolt when he spoke on the subject of social inferiority. Prof. Cumeron disputed the prevalent notion that the Negro is mentally inferior to the white race. He said that this idea of superior mentality was due to the conceived opinion that the white man lots of himself; that psychologists know that the black man is not mentally inferior and that if there are some in inferior members the number of inferior members in the white race far exceed the number in the Negro race. He also said that the Indian race is not by any means an inferior race mentally, but that as a race they had been handicapped by environment. When a statement of that nature comes from a map like Prof. Cameron, who is really an authority and capable of giving unbiased judgement, it behooves the members of the other race to discard the old idea that the black race is mentally inferior.

K., because he was to popular. New York City, December 8, 1922 Aounding revelation of the activity of Perry W. Howard in an effort to defeat the Dyer Anti lynching bill was made today at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was made public the text of the letter written by Mr. Howard to Senator T. Colman Du Pont of Delaware. The letter was dated November 23, 1922, just three days before the opening of the Special Session and at the time when every effort was being made to have the bill brought up and pushed. In this letter Mr. Howard declares he has "blood in his eyes" for the N. A. A. C. P., which he calls a "Negro Democratic Organization" and insists that no legislation ought to be enacted by reason of the N. A. A. C. P., or its sympathizers. Mr. Howard's letter is in part as follows: I received your letter of November 22 upon my return from the West where I have been almost the entire time since the close of the campaign. I confess to you that I have blood in my eyes for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and others who have used them with sinister designs to abject some of the best friend that we have in particular and the Na- tion in general. The purpose of this letter is to call attention of you and other outstanding statement to the fact that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is purely a Democratic organization and has always been found on the side of the side of the Democrat in the final analysis. This organization was made by Bob Nelson and others, and you owe your default to no other agency I corrected the evil in Wilmington and if I could have gone into the Downtown neighborhood on the following Monday I could have saved the day, but I had an engagement to fill for Senator Fred Langhansen and you know it was impossible for me to do so. Now, I may call attention to the fact that whatever legislation or whatever she is done for The Colonial People of this country might certainly be done through on by reason of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or any of its sympathizers. I therefore think that it should be the policy of the leaders of the party like you to absolutely give the back of your hand to such men as Nelson, James Walden Johnson, U. P. B. Dallis, Robert V. Vaum, of Pittsburgh and others of their ilk. There should be no quarter and while treating every Colored man with fairness and looking well to the interest of our groups, these political holocaustists should be annihilated as the basis of ingrates. Perry Moward PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR S, LEADS PTIST CONVENTION The other officers elected were Rev. W. M. Taylor of Louisiana, first vice-president at large; R. B. Hudson, Selma Alabama, secretary; E.

K. is a direct slap at civilization and open violation to the Federal government, "declared the resolution," and unless American manhood rises up and puts form and all other form of humility down, you will find that we will soon be facing a strife. "We regret that the Republicans have shown a large degree of cowardice. We have paid the party for its part in emancipation, both principle and interest, and we are now contending for the manhood recognition." Lan Angeles was selected for the next annual session. It was one of the largest conventions in the history of the organization. ELPS TO ER ANTI-LYNCH BILL In Mr. Howard's letter to Senator Du Pont, it was stated that copies were being sent to Senators Prelinghuyson, McCormick, Watson and Mose also to Attorney General Daugherty, who it is to be presumed would be interested in the charge of Mr. Howard that Mearson, Nelson, Dulloin, James Weldon Johnson and Nunn are "political bolsterets" Opius of Mr. Howards letter were further more sent to Charles Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee and were circulated among prominent Republican Senators. Mr. Howard's reference to his willingness to save the day in the Dover Neighborhood will interest those Colored readers who recall that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was instrumental in defeating Dr. Caleb R. Layton, Delaware Republican representative on the sole ground that he misrepresented his constituents by voting against the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill in the House of Representatives. The defeat of Dr. Dayton, largely through the enthusiastic and able work of Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, was regarded among Colored people as well as among white politicians as one of the most convincing demonstrations of solidarity and power ever evinced by Colored voters in Amethyst. Delaware became an object lesson to the Republican party showing the strong feeling among Colored voters about the Dyer tail. It is presumably against this proud achievement of Colored voters accomplished on the sole issue of the Dyer Antibunching bill, that Mr. Howard could have saved the day. Mr. Howard was appointed to office in the Department of Justice by President Harding. Mr. Howard is also a close personal friend of Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. It was Senator Harrison who helped to defeat the Liberian loan bill by stating that he had "information" that certain Colored men were to be beheaded healthily by the passage of this legislation. In that same tenor as Mr. Perry W. Howard letter was a paragraph widely circulated among the Colored press asserting that lobbying by the N. A. A. C. P. would hinder enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill because Reubbish leaders regarded the Association as a "Democratic with Nodalhet tendencies, circles. NEGRO FARMERS PROSPER Washington.

MEADOW GOLD BUTTER We call on our readers to the Meadow Fold Butter Ad. of the Bentrie Creamery Co. one of the leading concerns of its kind in the world. They manufacture a brand of butter that has a reputation around the world. Meadow Gold has stood the test in competitions at all State Fairs and World Expositions on all continents. Mr. O. W. Heskell, the manager is an authority on cream and butter. So well has he managed the concern that it has grown every year since he assumed the management. He is a quiet, and with pleasing manners. He is loved and highly respected by the employees for whom he always has a kind word. His supervision of this monstrous plant comes to him as easy as taking a drink of water. He has all the details of the inner and outer workings at his finger tips and moves over the building with ease and pleasure and can note or detect any wrong at a glimpse—in the engine or boiler room, repair shop, machine shop, butter fat, shipping office work or any business that may come before him. He knows what to do in a second. He was born and raised in the business. The Haskells, his relatives, made the creamery and butter famous in this county. The farmers are grateful to them for this monstrous institution which has paid many a mortgage off the farm and kept the wolf from thousands of farmers' doors. They are superlatively honest in their dealing. They will go a point higher to pay a farmer a fair price for his products rather than to have them that they would wrong anyone out of a cent. Their employees are first class, industrious and take great interest in going to all that nothing but first class products are turned out and vip with each other to put in every minute they get paid for and some over to make their jobs at. Topeka is greatly benefitted by this great concern and should go out of the way to pay homage. Great are the Haskells and the Beatrice Creamery. To The Sun: The ad carried in this paper by Dr. Nelson is food for serious thought. The ad in part says: "I do not work on Colored people and any dentist who does, does not show proper respect for his white patients." This coming from Georgia or Texas or Mississippi would not occasion the least bit of surprise—but in Kansas, free Kansas, the home of John Brown who on his way to his execution picked up a Negro baby and kissed it. In the first place Dr. Nelson does not need to go out of his way to advertise the fact that he does not care for Colored people's business. He does not need to their ill will. He already has that. So far as the writer knows none of the other dentists who are big enough, Christian enough and humane enough to treat Colored people has asked him for his opinion of them for so doing. This making a direct appeal to the prejudices of a community for patronage is cheap grand stand play.—Mrs. A. Dorsey Clayton, (The Part The Sun Would Not Print) Perhaps some of these same dentists might express their opinions in print of a dentist who had to resort to advertising to get business and particularly the cheap methods resorted to in advertising by Nelson. In medical and dental circles a doctor who resorts to advertising is regarded with suspicion and as a rule such a one is regarded as a quack. The low, cheap methods of Nelson clearly establishes his quackship. No first class dentists would resort to such questionable methods, for fear of being called a dental quack or clown. The few Negroes who possibly have stumbled into Nelson's immaculate, heavenly parlors were not looking for Nelson. Oh, no! They were looking for a real dentist who used to own that office and a man who was humans enough to treat the suffering people regardless of race or color. No self respecting Negro would, accept the services of such a man as Nelson. . HIGGINGVILK, MO. Our poole are doing fine since the mines are in operation again.

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITA WELFARE LEAGUE SWEEPING THE IMPERIAL VALLEY On last Sunday afternoon in the C. M. B. Church, at El Centro, California... Rev. Carter, Pastor and Pastors of all the city Churches present, the local organization of the International Community Welfare League was launched in the Imperial Valley. Unlimited praise is due Hon. Frank B. Alexander, of El Centro for making possible the record breaking crowd which greeted general Counsel Hugh E. Macleath of Los Angeles, as he arrose to address the citizens of the valley. For one hour and a half, Counsellor Macleath kept his hearers spellbound as he shot fact after fact before their minds. At the conclusion of the address, the unanimous decision was for the organization of the International Community Welfare League in the valley. The slogan of the League in the Imperial Valley is to spread the membership of the League from inland to the Gulf of California, and to improve the conditions for members of the League. The meeting was attended by people of all walks of life, from school teachers to farmers. On all sides the sentiment is expressed that the entrance to the League into Imperial Valley must be the strengthening of the splendid coral and Mexican families and leaders in the Valley, and the increase of them numbers. The cause of latter work conditions and relationship between races in the Valley is also greatly in pleased. Mr. M C Combs one of the new members of the UCI Centre hotel, was in tussed over the idea of the International Community Welfare League, that he decided to take the train for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; where he will spend two months in organization work for the League in that city. Husband, Oklahoma Titusa families composed a wagon train, which left here for Santa Clara Ranch, Lower California, Mexico. Live more families will join the "caravan" at Napulpa, Oklahoma. Their equipment in hules plows, seel ete. Dollstuffs for the home cookers of the International Community Welfare League will be raised on the Santa Clara Ranch, Lower California, Mexico. Negroes now own more farm land in Lower California than in California. The highest awards ever made at the Livestock shows at Sun D. on Californi were awarded cattle grown in the Santa Clara Valley, now owned by Negroes. The International Community Welfare League has opened up new positions for five hundred Negro farm hands in Imperial Valley, California. The Negro settlers in Mexico have requested the Mexican government to pee but them to have as many Mexicans as Negroes in each colony. 711 on with detailed for the Mexican Authorities.

Ask our customers 1129 Kansas Ave; Phone 3300 --- We hear so much of the late revival that was held at Shiloh Baptist Church both saint and sinner say that it was great. The 39 souls that were added to the church are rejoicing. All are saying that Rev. E. W. Perry is a great Evangelist, and that the Rev. J. B. Jelty is a wonderful gospel singer, and that the pastor N. J. Williams deserves much credit for the meeting. Yet with all of this, I wonder if the PETER H. Rev. S. J. Williams, Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church Rev. S. J. Williams, Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church good seed down in their midst feel in good soil where it will spring up 'two New York City, Dec. 8. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on his return to New York from Washington made the following statement on the abandonment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the Republican party. The fight for the entiment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was abandoned by the Republican majority on December 4 in the sentiments of the extra session of Congress. The bill had been called up for consideration on Tuesday, November 28. It immediately became the object of filibuster on the part of southern democrats, and the most radical of brutal exhibitions of its kind ever made in the Senate. A filibuster is generally carried on under some sort of disguise, but Senator Underwood of Alabama the democratic leader stated plainly and bluntly that the purpose of the filibuster was to present whatever any consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and that the democratic side would not allow any government whatever to be carried on until the Republicans agreed to abandon the Bill not only during the extra session but even during the short session. The filibuster was carried on from Tuesday through Saturday, December 4 during which time the democrats would not even allow the adoption of the Senate's proceedings. Finally on Saturday night a canon of Republican Senators fold" and came the heart to work more reasonably to help promulgate the Masters cause. If so, will it not put into practice love thy neighbor as thyself. Or did the word fall into the stony ground to be soon withered by the wordly trials the greatest of those to self. The hot sun of "my will or pay" has caused so many to fail. Nineth should pray that the kingdom of right commensal shall be in the hearts of all that "Gideo Will" shall be her watch word. May the annuaries that led the prayer service continue to pray and work, remembering that the frequent prayer awaketh much. Those who started out as personal workers continue to work for the harvest in white and the laborers are few. Let those who are standing family on the Rock strengthen the newly conceived. By so doing the light of Salvation will shine brightest all over Tophea and much good can be accomplished. "Key, N. J. Williams of St. John Baptist Church is making good." An observer writes the Plainleader. We are proud to know that he is doing great work in the Christian world. He is not selfish or clamish. He fellowships with all the churches. He is a fine Theological scholar and is one of the instructors at the Baptist Seminary at the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. He is highly respected and stands high with the people who are always glad to meet and talk with him. He is a great face man and one of the most successful pastors of the city. Johnson tells of the Dyer Bill hold was held which was largely attended and the question of the abandonment of the Bill was discussed for more than two hours. The attendance of the councils dwindled until there were some twenty-three members left. A vote was taken and the majority agreed to abandon the bill. There were many members who voted to keep the fight until the 3d of March of necessary. Among these were Senator Shortridge who has charge of the bill and who led the fight on the floor. Before the Republican caucus, the Secretary conferred with Senator Lodge, Curtis and Watson, the three men holding the fate of the bill in their hands, urging them not to surrender on the terms laid down by the democratic filibusterers. Those terms were that the bill be not only dropped in the special Session but dropped as well for the entire term of the Sixty-seventh Congress. Immediately after the publication in the newspapers of the outcome of the canuas, the Secretary telegraphed to these three men inquiring if he had not received their promises that the bill would not be abolished on Senator Underwern's terms. Senator Laude of Massachusetts, who was elected by the Colored voters of his state on the sole issue of the Diver Anta Launching Bill, denied by letter ever having made such a promise to the Secretary. It was Senator Laude who announced in the Senate aindealer Wishes You a ry Christ and a Happy New Ye Republican party had surrounded the Colored people will not be dominated by apperceptions. They can see and know the actual fight was made by the Southern democrats against the bill smaller than by the Republicans in the battle. The Southern democrats roared like a lion and the Republicans lay down like a scared 'possum. The efforts of Senator Shortridge were sincere and earnest, but outable the support he received from Senator Willis, Senator New and thenceforth Ridge, not a Republican opened his mouth in actual support. A few Senators including Senator Puppe and Read of Pennsylvania, McNary, Chapier and Ocoding, expressed their willingness to keep up the fight until the 4th of March if necessary, but the mass of Republican displayed no interest in the bill. It is this attitude that the Colored people misrepresent's recent, perhaps even more than the failure of the bill to pass. If the Senatorial leaders think the Negro will be satisfied merely because they allowed the Southern democrats to "put themselves on record" they are mistaken. The Republicans should also have put themselves on record. This they failed to do. The unsuccessful fight to have the Dyer hill escaped was not without fruit. First of all, lynching as a national shame and the facts about lynching have been pub before the American people. In fact, lynching has been made not only a national but an international issue and such a question cannot die until it is rightly settled. Second, the Dyer Anti-lynching bill became the center of concerted mass action by the colored people who has never before taken place in the United States. Colored vote allowed on this issue alone, three men who voted against it in the House of Representatives, one in Delaware, one in New Jersey, and one in Wisconsin. So doing, Colored people have become conscious of their national power. Third, Colored voters have gone great step toward political emancipation from the allegiance on historical grounds to any one party. The fate of the Dyer bill, coming as a culmination completely ride the Negro of the old idea that he must now, henceforth and forevermore vote the Republican ticket merely for historic reasons. In conclusion, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has no intention of learning its efforts to abolish lynching in the United States of America.

This young lady gives all the crookish for her beautiful hair and complication to AXILANIU preparations. The following dispatch appeared in the New Age Dispatch published way out in Los Angeles, California SOCCER FOOTBALL WESTERN FAVORITE DID YOU KNOW IT? Hopka, Kansas, Dear Prof. J. Sherman Hunnott, principal of the McKinley High School here, has gotten together an aggregation of high school ladies who play soccer football jam up. These ladies have won the championship in this action and now he is training some athletes for a winning basketball team in the coming season. The football team of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute coached by Prof. Abbott, a letter man from South Dakota University, detected an兰恩 Institute of Jefferson City, the last Saturday by a score of 13 (4). What we can't understand is why do our home town people send then news two or three thousand miles away and with ooll at from their own unharm? We never know that the high school boys were playing soccer or that they had won any championships. Did you? If these things are going on in Topeka we tell that Topeka should be told about it first. We don't know who is responsible for the above News item, but we do know that wherever it was did Topeka an injustice. We pause for reply. Our feeling of racial superiority was advanced several notices today when we received a letter from one of our best friends out at the University of Illinois fallout of the lecture of Prof. Cameron the account of which appears on another page. . . . We always had an idea by every since the request for information concerning the habits of Washburn students that we were persons non grata with the majority of them. They are a loyal set and we admire them immensely for that quality. Indeed one young lady whom we had the tenacity to spring some of our Mexico Spanish on, proceeded with a great deal of charming dignity to inform us that perhaps the students in question were refined to look after their jobs at certain house. Anyway she said, it is certain that whatever they did which was not clear to the public was honorable. Now that is clear. Oh yes, our Mexico Spanish I don't work because she came back at us with such a flood of Spanish of the pure Castilian variety that we beat a hasty retreat back to our own American English. Although many of the things that Mason says appear on the surface to be true, we can't say we agree with everything he says. We firmly believe that conventions such as the N.R.C. and the General Conferences are as necessary for educating the Negro Ministry as the Public School is for educating the youth. Education by contact is a great thing. Two of our bright young men have a habit of going to church late every Sunday and a certain young lady is highly indignant if we had such a clowning young person interested in the welfare of our soul, we would get to church on time.
